Lady in Santa Fe's sitting

There on her stool in the lobby

sketching the passersby posing

joining her hand and her eye.

And there where I walk by

Oh oh - Hotels are there for the sleeping

But artists are hard to describe

All the lawyers and rakes are out eating their steaks,

But the lady waits here by our side

Portraits of traveling strangers

Draw her unceasingly through them

Mat her and wrap her for hanging

On walls in Fort Worth living rooms

And she the charcoal groom

Oh oh - Tourists are there for the taking

But faces she loves to describe

You may say there awaits a task more for her fate

But the lady's now here by our side

Oh oh tourists are there for the taking.

But faces she loves to inscribe

You may say there awaits a task more to her fate

But the lady's now here by our side.
